Re: A bit late, but here are my two cents ...

I am very sorry to see Mr Sleep step down, though I can fully understand - I agree with some here who have asked: who would want to be a Mod? It must be a thankless job in many respects.

But, if we are going to go in for any kind of voting or nomination process, my vote would go to Gwalchmai. Some of the other people mentioned (like Gruntboy and HighLordDave) are awesome choices, but they both tend to get into political discussions. One thing I think is hard on a moderator, but should be strived for nonetheless, is that element of impartiality. I think it would be hard for a SYM member to be both Moderator and constant political/social/religious commentator. I see Gwalchmai only very seldom in such discussions, and AFAIR, his comments are always mild and minimal.

Anyhoo! All just IM(very)HO.

Peace.

I totally agree with you concerning SYM's loss of Mr. Sleep, and I admire anyone who can take the job and do it as well as he did.

I would very much like to meet this "Gwalchmai" fellow you are talking about. Surely such a level-headed person must be a great man. I wish I possessed some of those qualities myself....

(Thanks for the complements

)

Wow I have missed a fair bit of the revelry.

IMO the real requirements for moderating this place is not just wisdom and knowledge, but a force of will. And on that point, I'd put my tick next to Grunty. No one is more forceful.... in a good way of course.

But as has been stated, do we really need another mod? If anything gets out of hand most of the regulars can assist to a certain extend anyway, and we all know the rules well enough.

Don't forget the rise of The Empire of Weasel™, a home grown networking world government that can pull in to action all (3201 at last count and rising) the faithful members under the rule of President Weasel.

This fine group puts forth its noble goal to try and fill the empty spot left by the unseen and frankly sad moment of Mr. Sleeps departure.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone PM'd or emailed Buck to see what he has to say about this? They are his forums, after all.

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Tue Sep 17, 2002 7:35 pm

I guess Sleep has, if we need to. We could make another thread in the General forum just like last time when we chose Sleep, T' and fable etc. But its best to let Buck make the calls this time IMO.

Is this going to be another nomination?

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Wed Sep 18, 2002 4:38 am

Who knows, although I doubt Buck would let the empty void left by Sleep linger any longer.
